From CBSNews:
MOGADISHU, Somalia - U.S. Navy SEALs parachuted into Somalia under cover of darkness early Wednesday and crept up to an outdoor camp where an American woman and Danish man were being held hostage. Soon, nine kidnappers were dead and both hostages were freed. ...
Members of SEAL Team 6, though not necessarily the same ones who participated in the bin Laden operation, parachuted into Somalia and were engaged in a firefight as they neared the pirates' compound in Adado. U.S. officials told Martin that the kidnappers were armed and had explosives nearby.
The raiders came in quickly, catching the guards as they were sleeping after having chewed the narcotic leaf qat for much of the evening, a pirate who gave his name as Bile Hussein told The Associated Press by phone. Hussein said he was not present at the site but had spoken with other pirates who were, and that they told him nine pirates had been killed in the raid and three were "taken away."
